Topless

In Top o Nerae! 2: Diebuster, the Topless are young people with enhanced mental ability that allows them to pilot Buster Machines. Once Topless reach a certain age, they lose their Topless abilities and can no longer be pilots. They are required to wear seals on their foreheads to contain said abilities when not in battle, and, in some cases, a metal device may be placed on one's head to prevent this rule being broken.

The science behind Topless abilities are explained in the Diebuster episode of Gunbuster Science Lessons. Unfortunately, there is currently no English translation of the episode. However, it is apparent that Topless abilities are somehow related to the concept of Entropy and a particle known as Powder.
